Brady Corporation - High Performance Adhesives and Labeling Materials

Working under the most difficult and demanding conditions imaginable, military operations around the world must rely on fail-safe technology. Brady’s materials and adhesives excel in extreme environments – including temperature fluctuations and environments that require abrasion resistance.

Heat-shrinkable sleeves for wires

Brady high-performance labeling materials have been vigorously lab and field tested to meet the needs of the defense industry. PermaSleeve™ heat shrinkable sleeves fit snugly around wires for protection and permanent identification. These fade-resistant, smudge-proof, full-circle insulating sleeves meet the following insulating material and physical property specifications:

• MIL-DTL-23053/5 Class 1
• MIL-M-81531
• MIL-STD-202
• UL and CSA recognized

Our heat-shrinkable wire marking sleeves are high-temperature rated, highly flame retardant, and very flexible. Brady heat shrinkable wire marking sleeves meet the following specifications for the aerospace industry:

• MIL-DTL-23053/5 Class 1
• MIL-M-81531
• MIL-STD-202
• UL and CSA recognized

Heat shrinkable wire marking sleeves are also available in a halogen-free option, offering outstanding fire safety properties and minimal smoke emission. These halogen-free materials meet the following industry specifications:

• MIL-M 81531
• MIL-STD-202

Nomex® B-508 tag material is a thermal transfer printable wire bundle and cable identification tag designed for use in harsh environments. It offers excellent tear, solvent, and heat resistance. Nomex material meets MIL-M 81531 industry specifications.

Self laminating vinyl labels and fluid line tape

Self-laminating vinyl labels are designed for thermal transfer printers and utilize a clear "tail" that wraps around the label to protect the text from fading and abrasion.

B-999 fluid line tape is designed exclusively for aircraft tubing identification. It is subsurface printed, flexible, transparent polyester film tape with a heat activated adhesive, printable with dot matrix or thermal transfer printers. Adhesive offers superior resistance to fuels, oils, and hydraulic fluids. Low initial adhesion allows the tape to be easily repositioned when first applied.

B-593 raised panel labels are designed for identification applications that require name plate quality, including patch panels, external push-buttons, switches, and internal connection points.

High-temperature resistant labels

UL and cUL recognized B-498 repositionable vinyl labels feature a specially formulated top coat with a cloth backing. These labels provide very good thermal transfer print quality and excellent holding power, while allowing for clean removal and repositioning of the label.

• UL recognized
• ROHS compliant

B-642 Tedlar labels are made from a translucent polyvinylfluoride film with good self-extinguishing properties; ideal for high-temperature applications. It is a thin tape with a primed printable surface that is excellent for wrapping on small diameter wires. These labels offer good print smudge resistance and solvent resistance, with a permanent, acrylic, pressure sensitive adhesive.
